Preview Back in the late 90s and early Aughts, I would buy LGBTQ movies on VHS from Ebay. Lifetime movies mostly. They are probably in a box in the attic. Think Stockard Channing, Natasha Lyonne, even Brooke Shields as a lesbian mom When I took a closer look, I saw they were mostly screeners that […]
So here’s my occasional plea for your help. I am in the midst of three court cases stemming from events in August 2023. I was homeless for six months. I’ve been home for nearly two years, but things are tough. I depend on you to help me with living and legal expenses while these cases […]
Includes homage to The TIng Ting’s “That’s Not My Name” The owner of the Oakmont Bakery sent me an email that perfectly illustrates the#OakmontBakeryEffect This song is monotone – more clueless white male privilege treating a woman as if I need to be schooled and corrected. Hi Kim, I own Oakmont Bakery, and I wanted […]
For nearly ten years, I’ve been interviewing local folx for political Q&A’s. I eventually focused specifically on candidates for office anywhere in Pennsylvania. I’m sitting this year out.

Realism seems like a fitting lens to understand how I review a play or […]
Galentine’s Day brings women together to celebrate each other every year the day before Valentine’s day. Today we honor our platonic soulmates and the bond between friendships formed that deserve celebration. I’m not one for the term “gal” anymore than bestie or BFF or GBF. But a day to celebrate friendship with other women is […]
Today is my Dad’s birthday. He would have been 85.hs He died in 2024 so only made it to 83. Is that a robust old life. One year when I was working in foster care, I asked my Dad to play Santa at the annual holiday party. He was tickled. The suit fit and he […]
We’ve been offline for a few days. Apparently, my site was targeted by Distributed Denial-of-Service attack. From the Netherlands. DDoSed. I’m wondering if an onslaught of Tony Geary fans came to read my memorial blog post? I mentioned Amsterdam. I know it is not literally a lot of real people from the Netherlands who visited […]
